The nation is polarized. The swing voters will matter greatly. Here is a quote for the link: Nicholson, who doesn't identify with either political party, said she "cannot see any reason why I would be voting Democrat and the next election." Even the die hard Dims I work with admit the nation and its economy has been wrecked the past 1.5 years.

Since the debate could continue endlessly, we have to look to a much higher source for a definition: [Hidden Content]

OMG just look what all those red hat wearing Trump supporters just now did! [Hidden Content] ROTFLMAO!

Like the MAGA's that "attacked" Jussie Smollett? Are you that willfully ignorant or just plain STUPID?

Trump - DeSantis for the win!

The dude is a tatted up RAPPER, from blue Illinois. NOT a Republican. Huge fail.

Its not "POTUS",.... its worst "POS" in history.

Cumulatively, Ced and VY don't have a 100 IQ to work with. Give them $9 million as teenagers and they likely end up literally dead, be it at the hands of street violence or lifestyle. Its amazing VY has not died of alcohol poisoning yet, and pothead Ced is already dead due to a drug induced motorcycle wreck.

Chicago ain't goin' down without a GUNfight! [Hidden Content]

I have been a few times. Its not TOO bad in the quarter, because its well patrolled and almost every one there is a tourist. Many might be drunk and rowdy but almost none of them are looking to gun you down and steal your wallet or car. STAY AWAY from the rest of the Chocolate city.

One of the best fanbases ever! [Hidden Content] HOTTY TODDY indeed!

Chocolate City gets what Chocolate City deserves!

Thats right. NRG had a "one and done" opportunity to cash in from the UIL that year, and they took advantage of it. I think NRG correctly surmised they would not have a realistic chance at getting the State games rotated around to them in the future regardless how well they accommodated the UIL, so they were not concerned about whatever opinion the UIL would have of them going forward from that point. The UIL is all in with AT&T and NRG knew it.

Yes I was at almost every game you mentioned, and more. I am well aware more games were played there after 16. I think the decision came gradually. The State games were not the sole deciding factor. You are correct, it was not decided to shut them down right afterwards. Some games at NRG were decently attended, some were not. The history was iffy. Janice McNair, Bobs widow, owns the Texans, and Cal McNair, the son, runs the franchise. The actual owner of NRG is Harris Country Sports and Convention Corp., though. HCSCC would have the final say on any HS games being held at NRG, or not. Cal's opinion on HS games (if he even has one) would be important I am sure, but he would not ultimately make the final decision. Cal is way more low profile than Jerry, of course. No huge ego to feed.

Actually that would be Joe Biden. See our southern non-border. Under Biden, the drug cartels, fentanal traffickers, and human traffickers have increased dramatically. Joe makes it all happen.

Two reasons I would suggest. First NRG does not have a driving ego behind it, like Jerry Jones who has a burning desire to dominate everything. Second, NRG was not well attended when it hosted the State games a few years ago. Ironically, this is the fault of the DFW and north TX fans who largely failed to make the trip down to Houston. This hurt NRG's profits, and NRG learned a monetary lesson through this. Conversely, the support of Houston (and CenTex) fans who do travel to AT&T yearly supports HS games up there. Funny how it worked out, the fickle, lazy DFW fans might have cost Houston area teams the opportunity to play indoors at home in NRG.

GA apparently wants to keep those who support violent crime: [Hidden Content] Self inflicted deaths and terror for those in Atlanta. Wont really effect the safe rural areas. So be it!

Its very hard to be "mad" or worried about "$$$" while living on The Hill. I have no idea what you are trying to claim. Please explain what you mean. Thanks

Dang and I was just sure it was MAGA red hat wearing NRA members! Didn't they do the Uvalde thing too?

Glad to see you LV posters here. It will make for an interesting season being in R2. Love the discussion.

I happen to have an extra copy. I will sell it at face value. PM me if interested.

^^^ Its a joke. Lighten up.

Yeah we are busted. p We used to bribe refs for just $100 a game in the 90's. In the 2000's it steadily went up, reaching $150 bribe per ref by 2010. In 2020 when inflation really began to hit, dang greedy refs started demanding $200 per game! For 2022, its getting just outrageous. They now want a $250 per per person per game bribe, AND $50 extra gas money, AND a case of bud light for the crew. That's a whopping $300+ for each ref. Next thing they will all want free shrimp platters at Floyds on I-10 after the game. A win now cost BH several thousands in ref bribes alone. I hope these guys will let us pay using PayPal or Venmo going forward. I just hate carrying around thousands of dollars of green cash in dark parking lots after the game. Dang it!
